Title: Amiga 101
Post by: irishmike on May 31, 2006, 06:18:37 PM

We are actually getting UAE the way we want it.  Have been configuring WinUAE and about to start on my Linux E-UAE... but things are not quite as smooth ;-)

We are looking for a Users Guide to WB 3.1 (preferably in PDF format) and also wondering how you configure "paths" in AmigaOS.. we added LHA.run and it is now located in our system :utlities folder.  How would we get the file to run from the command line.  The LHA to expand is on the RAM Disk.

Thanks,

You misunderstood. lha.run is self extracting archive.

Copy it to ram: then in shell:
1.> cd ram:
1.> protect lha.run +e
1.> lha.run
1.> copy lha_68k c:lha

After that, download util/arc/lha_68k.lha (http://www.aminet.net/package.php?package=util/arc/lha_68k.lha).
Then:

1.> lha x lha_68k.lha ram:
1.> copy ram:lha_68k c:lha

(or copy lha_68020 or lha_68040, depending on your cpu)

How do we get into the command line to do this?

Thanks,

Open the Shell icon from the System drawer on your boot partition.

Or select Execute Command (RAmiga + E) from the Workbench menu and type 'newshell'

To enter in 'command line mode' you have to run a CLI process.

Right button and  at workbenchmenu you have to select 'Execute command' and type 'newcli'

You can run a command directly with RAmiga + E

And you can find CLi/shell icon at System folder in SYS:
